Try leaving the battery out of it for 10 minutes. It sometimes helps.

if u bought the fone in the philippines, your warranty is valid there. here is also an austrlaian thread in the regional forum, might be some members ould help u over there, if it is. hard to say what could be the problem, the best is to check it by experts.

It sounds like the White Screen Of Death. It's not actually that bad, your phone isn't dead, it just appears that way. Switch it on and all you see is a white screen.
Here's the 3 options so far as i know:
1. If your battery was fairly well charged (70% or more) when it started whitescreening, you could try leaving it switched on for 30 mins to an hour (but no longer), and it may fix itself. If your battery was low when it happened, then for gods sake take the battery out now and move straight to option 2, do not run your battery flat. While your phone is whitescreening, it cannot charge itself with the mains adaptor beyond ~15%.
2. flashing the firmware fixes the whitescreen crash. You need more than 15% battery power to successfully flash the phone. I'd guess at 30-40% charged at least. SEUS won't let you flash a whitescreened w900i, because it sees a working firmware on the phone already. You need to use Davinci or TotalMultiServer.

3. Take it back to where you bought it, or use the SonyEricsson warranty.
